Transsexuality and Pervasive Developmental Disorders
Hi Kathica. After seeing your contribution to the talk page on transsexuality, I had to comment. I am an MTF transsexual with atypical autism. I have found the finger-length research very interesting; I was also extremely interested, of course, when I first heard that there might be a correlation between transsexualism and PDD. I am 22 and have been transitioning for about 2 years; my parents and some of the therapists I have seen are strongly concerned because they think my transsexualism may be secondary to my PDD. I have felt trans for as long as I can remember, and it has felt great to transition, even though I still have a long way to go. Everything would probably be much easier if my parents were supportive (I am still living with them), but I plan to transition with or without their help. As for finger-length ratios, I am about 0.96 on both hands; I don't know about the ratios of any of my other family members, maybe I should measure them. Regardless, I know that I am transsexual.
